Thank you, Mikael! But when I try "git-checkout tip/tip-core-rcu-2008-06-16_09.23_Mon", it says: error: pathspec 'tip/tip-core-rcu-2008-06-16_09.23_Mon' did not match any file(s) known to git. Did you forget to 'git add'? Trying "git-checkout tip/tip-core-rcu" gets me: error: pathspec 'tip/tip-core-rcu' did not match any file(s) known to git. Did you forget to 'git add'? Trying "git-checkout -b tip-core-rcu tip/tip-core-rcu" gets me: git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches/forcing Did you intend to checkout 'tip/tip-core-rcu' which can not be resolved as commit? Trying "git-checkout -b tip-core-rcu tip/tip-core-rcu-2008-06-16_09.23_Mon" gets me: git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches/forcing Did you intend to checkout 'tip/tip-core-rcu-2008-06-16_09.23_Mon' which can not be resolved as commit? Trying "git-checkout -b tip-core-rcu tip-core-rcu-2008-06-16_09.23_Mon" acts like it is doing something useful, but doesn't find the recent updates, which I believe happened -before- June 16 2008. Help??? Thanx, Paul
